The Desert Inn has peaked my interest due to...

My family is trekking from Eastern Washington to Disneyland this June and I am SO EXCITED! I've been to Disneyland many times before, but this trip my husband and I are taking a bunch of newbies! My mother in law, who knows about the trip already...my 5 year old nephew, who I made a far-too-complicated week-long reveal involving Lightning McQueen and Mater, my almost-2 year old son, and my 14 year old sister-in-law.

In fact, she said that she sees that happen three to four times a month for various reasons. To have it reinstated, certain criteria must...

1. I was just about to book a Fantasmic package at River Bell for tomorrow night for 4 ppl but I've done the FDP here before -with both RB and BB- and I'm wondering if I could save the 200 bucks... I was only considering the DP because we brought my son's friend who has never been to Disney so I want to make sure he can see the show. But I hate spending so much $ for the FDP.
Does anyone know...

Our trip is 4/12-4/14 - only three nights. I reserved a dining package for WoC for Thursday (4/12) night (last night). According to the schedule, there is no other nighttime entertainment this night.

Friday, 4/13, I have a F! dinner package. Both Pixar Fireworks and PTN start that night.

Saturday night, 4/14, is where I need help. Of course, we want to do it “all.” But can we realistically see both the Fireworks and PTN on...

I thought it might be helpful to share some thoughts here, for other Disney fans considering bringing a baby or toddler to DL.

Before we went, I asked a TON of questions (here, on social media, among friends) about what it would be like to take 24-month-olds to DL. Were they too young? Would they enjoy it? Would they even "get" it?
